Political Science

Political Science is a course of study offered through the Political Science and International Relations Department. It includes the political science major as well as the American Politics and Comparative Politics minors. The department is located on the second floor of GDH.

Political Science (Poli Sci) is incorrectly assumed to be somewhat of an easy major due to the fact that it requires only 9 credits. In fact, Political Science covers a wide range of different topics of politics and current events that makes it a diverse and challenging field of study. Additionally, many majors take significantly more than 9 credits, due to an undying obsession with the subject matter. It shares many requirements with the International Relations major. Political science also happens to be the science of love. Because it is the science of determining who gets what; when, where, and how!
